My wife and I had moved our family to a new state for me to attend graduate school. We were struggling financially, didn't have any really close friends yet, were far away from all our relatives, and I was gone most of the day every day, leaving her to deal with four young boys by herself. She was feeling very down about life one day and cried out to God "Are you really there??? Please send me some angels so I know you care about me!"
While the older children were in school, she decided to walk to the public library with our youngest. It turned out to be a very long walk and wore her out. On her way back, a church member drove up, saw her walking, and gave her a ride the rest of the way home. The Spirit whispered to her, "That was one of My angels!"
That same day a sister from the ward called her up and told her, "I had a feeling I should give you a call - let's talk!" They had a wonderful long visit on the phone together. Afterwards the Spirit whispered to my wife, "That was one of My angels!"
Later in the day, another sister stopped by unannounced and said she had been shopping, knew my wife liked white chocolate, saw some in the store, and bought her some. She left her a a very generous amount of white chocolate as a gift. The Spirit whispered to her, "That was one of My angels!"
Much later, around 10:00 pm, another sister in the ward called and asked if we were still up. We were, so she said she was coming over right away to see us. When she arrived, she had a heaping plate of fresh hot cookies she had made. She explained that she was making cookies for her family, and accidentally doubled one of the ingredients, so she had to double the entire recipe to make them turn out right. She didn't know what to do with so many cookies, and the Spirit prompted her to bring some over to us that very night. We gratefully accepted two dozen cookies from her. When she left my wife started crying. I asked her why, and she explained what had happened to her throughout the day. She said that as this sister was leaving, the Spirit whispered to her a fourth time: "That was also one of My angels! I love you!"
